Welcome ! Swagatam !
Welcome to Philologs: Transitioning अपरा to परा ज्ञान, your headspace for exploring and unveiling the hidden wisdom within ourselves. The focus here is 'I the You'. At Philologs, I am dedicated to delving into the intricate world of transitioning from अपरा ज्ञान (apara jñāna) to परा ज्ञान (para jñāna), bridging the gap between mundane knowledge systems and a higher transcendental understanding of our existence in the cosmic sphere.
To help you understand these concepts, here are some explanations:
अपरा ज्ञान (Apara Jñāna) refers to the knowledge of the material world. It encompasses all practical, empirical, and intellectual knowledge that helps us navigate everyday life. This includes sciences, arts, technology, and all other forms of knowledge that relate to the external world and our interaction with it.Everything that formal education grants us to help navigate the world.
What I am aiming to transcend to:
परा ज्ञान (Para Jñāna), on the other hand, is the knowledge of the transcendental or spiritual realm. It goes beyond the material world and pertains to the understanding of our inner self, the nature of consciousness, and the ultimate reality. Para Jñāna seeks to answer profound questions about existence, purpose, and the cosmos, focusing on self-realization and spiritual enlightenment.
The quest I am set upon, echoes aloud in the writing of Soren Kierkegaard:
“Where am I? Who am I?
How did I come to be here?
What is this thing called the world?
How did I come into the world?
Why was I not consulted?
And If I am compelled to take part in it, where is the director?
I want to see him.”
― Søren Kierkegaard
These profound questions are answered in the verses of the Nirvana Shakatam by Adi Shankaracharya, especially the lines:
मनः बुद्धि अहंकार चित्तानि नाहम्,
न च श्रोत्र जिह्वे न च घ्राण नेत्रे;
न च व्योम भूमिर न तेजो न वायु,
चिदानंद रूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम्।
―निर्वाण षटकम्, आदि शंकराचार्य
"I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or memory,
Nor the ears, tongue, nose, or eyes;
Nor the sky, earth, fire, or air,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva, I am Shiva."
Nirvana Shakatam by Adi Shankaracharya
These lines reflect a profound understanding of self beyond the physical and mental constructs, much like Kierkegaard's quest for deeper existential answers. It emphasizes that our true nature is beyond the material and sensory experiences—an essence of pure consciousness and bliss, aligning with the idea of transitioning from अपरा ज्ञान to परा ज्ञान.
